About This Image

Even if you’ve never eaten at the Majestic Diner in Atlanta, there’s something about Art Deco architecture that’s likely to bring an unconscious smile to your face. And I think that’s particularly true about Streamline Moderne, of which the Majestic Diner is an example. The Majestic Diner has a sign that says it’s been serving customer since 1929. That’s apparently in more than one location as the Briarcliff Plaza in the Poncey-Highlands neighborhood dates to 1939.

As anyone who has ever called Atlanta home knows, it’s a city that’s constantly rebuilding itself. Blink and the city changes. That fact makes the Majestic Diner even more special. There’s just something cool knowing that people have been having meals in that same place decade after decade while the city outside changes. There’s something about the Majestic that reminds me in surreal way of Rod Taylor sitting in The Time Machine in the 1960 film. While he remains unchanging, the world outside goes rushing past.

When I sat down to work on this Majestic Diner artwork, I knew it had to be a night scene. Just look at all that gorgeous vintage neon signage! The Majestic was simply meant for an Atlanta after dark print. And in a way, it’s a nod to all those late nights past that Atlanta party-people have washed up at the majestic for a late night meal. Are you one of those folks? Does this little corner of Atlanta remind you of good times past?

And that classic 50’s Chevy on the street outside was definitely a nod to the long history of the Majestic. The streets would be very crowded indeed if I had even done a car for every decade that that cool old diner has stood there. There’s just something about mid-century Americana that completes this scene for me.

I would love to hear what drew you to this particular Atlanta artwork. Is it simply down to the cool Art Deco styling and the vivid neon signage? Or do you have personal connections to this particular landmark?

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
